and Malia.
Aghios Nikolaos:
Aghios Nikolaos, built on the ruins of the ancient city Lato pros

into a major modern cosmopolitan center. Aghios Nikolaos is known
for its "bottomless" lake located in the town centre.

Crete, the largest
of the Greek islands and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean,
has less than half the average population density of the EU and
has become the most popular Greek island for those wishing to retire
or set up semi-permanent residence. Unlike many of the smaller
islands, life goes on after summer; and why shouldn't it when spring
and autumn temperatures in the 70s sandwich short, mild winters?
Countless traditional villages amble through life as they have
done for centuries. Even the smallest have a village square, kafenion
and taverna, where you can eat and drink the day away for not much
more than a pocket of small change. In general, the cost of living
is 40% less than that of the UK and comes with a free and limitless
supply of Crete's unreserved hospitality!
The landscape
is as varied as it is beautiful; the backbone of the island is
mountainous, with snow capped peaks on view until May.
There is the
famous Samaria Gorge, Europe's longest at 18 kilometres. It provides
fertile areas ablaze with colour and rugged slopes plunging 600
metres to the valley floor.
